Even though we love designer bags (obviously), we're all big believers in the idea that shoppers don't need to spend four figures (or anywhere near it) in order to get a beautiful, well-made, expensive-looking bag that will serve them well for the season and beyond. The evidence on which we've based that belief is all around us: now's a great time to be in the market for a handbag that hits in the mid-three-figures or less.

Not only have stalwart contemporary brands like Coach, Marc Jacobs and MICHAEL Michael Korsall elevated their offerings in the past year, but the market is full of smaller brands--some of them very new and helmed by young, innovative designers--which have found a come with contemporary consumers who've long been neglected when it comes to sophisticated accessories.

We've included the best Pre-Fall 2016 picks from both types of brands below, and here's the best news: all of the bags are available to shop immediately.

With every stylish woman comes a sensible, well-rounded collection of handbags, are we right? And since we've already deemed Princess Mary of Denmark one of our power-dressing icons, you can bet we've checked out her clutches and satchels. Don't worry, they're good.

Mary's accessory closet isn't just filled with suede clutches in neutral colors to politely complement her eveningwear and suits. Instead, she swings roomy leather totes on the regular, and she knows the staying power of a Chanel 2.55 — that baby goes with everything. Read on for a look at her royal picks and find which designs you've been missing, then scroll to shop.

I love this point in sale season. Second markdowns have been taken, people who are satisfied with 25% or 30% off have snatched up their bags, and now the real bargain-hunting can begin. It's a bigger challenge than earlier in the season, of course, but the reward is high if you have the fortitude to hold out this long. Below, check out the deepest discounts we found on the most highly coveted bags available right now; you won't regret it.
